Element Baby Book Final Project Due:
In this project you will adopt an element from the periodic table. The element that you choose must have an atomic number from 1 – 30. As a proud parent of your element you will create a baby book to remember each stage of your element’s life. This project will count as a test grade in science. I will give you time in the computer lab to research your element and 4 class periods to work on your book. You may create your book on the computer, but it is not necessary.
Complete ALL requirements! Be creative! Be neat! Use color! Punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and grammar must be accurate!
